“Hungary will not accede to this blackmailing, Hungary will protect its borders, stop illegal migration and … if needed we will stand up to you,” Orban told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where he was applauded by far-right EU lawmakers.
“Hungary is going to be condemned because the Hungarian people have decided that this country is not going to be a country of migrants,” Orban said.
